Dear minor league baseball player on the team I cover occasionally,

I totally heard you in the clubhouse tonight. I realize you haven't had a female walk through there in probably almost a decade. You personally may not have had a female walk through your clubhouse ever, given most high school and college locker room policies and my being the only female sports writer in the town in about a decade.

That said. to call out "Hey, look over here," when you're coming out of the shower and probably naked, and I'm trying to cruise in and out of the manager's office while a.) on deadline and b.) trying to cause as little commotion as possible because I know you all aren't used to it, is definitely on the list of more mature things you did today. No, I didn't look, but I wish I knew which player you were so I could give you shirt about it the next time I saw you.

A tiny bit annoyed but mostly amused at how yes, you are still 10 years old and on the playground,

Kritter

P.S. of a completely unrelated nature - The reunion sucked, especially because everyone else in my family got completely plastered by 9 each night when I'm the only one who doesn't drink there. If you have to get that drunk to hang out with your family, something it totally wrong. Bu I'm happy I went because I can use the "I went to freaking Arizona" excuse to get out of the next three or four of the gatherings.

dear kritter,

i honestly think the appropriate response would have been to have stopped, looked at naked man and said, 'oh my god that is soooo cute. do those also come in medium and large?'



hugs,

To the fine women of Daytona Beach:

When it comes to your choice of tattoo artists, breast augmentation surgeons, orthodontists and haircare products, go ahead and splurge a little. Treat yourself and buy the best. You deserve it.

It may cost a little more now, but you'll be soooo glad you did when you hit your 40s.

Unless, of course, looking like a crack wart is something you aspire to.

And a special note to Amethyst and Jersey: Those weren't your real names were they? Damn. You rawk anyway.

dear lono,

what's with all this crack-wart hatin' going on?


hugs,


tomas

No hatin' here, tomas.

Just trying to show a little saving grace.

Peace out,

Lono

dear three bags,

so what did you think of the drive between seattle and tacoma?



hugs,

Tom,

It was great. When we hit Ellensburg, we got off I-90, shot down to Yakima and took a scenic route that followed the Yakima River through a canyon. When that one ended, we hopped on Hwy. 410, a scenic route that took us through Chinook Pass through Mt. Ranier Nat'l Park. Both were simply breathtaking.

Thanks,

Dear UT,

Hope all is well,

tomas,

I just logged into the site without problem. Go to www.snapfish.com. The email address is reaascott@yahoo.com and the password is 100299.

I'll be in Olympia until the end of July, when my main mission ends here. From there, they'll toss me back on post or in a hotel that doesn't cost so much as the digs I'm in now, I'm sure. I'll be in the Lewis/Tacoma area until the end of August.

Later,
